Former IDF Soldier Gets Laid in 2.5 Weeks Cold Approach (video testimonial)

Why Krav Maga Training Transfers to Daygame Skills

I, John Elite, trained in Krav Maga for five years.

Krav Maga is the martial art used by the IDF.

This student was also connected to that world because he served in the IDF and saw real combat.

He told me stories about the horrors of war, including seeing a friend getting blown up.

Because of that experience, he already had a level of resilience and mental toughness that most students do not have.

One thing we both understood immediately was the importance of repetition.

Military training and Krav Maga are built around drills.

You repeat the same movements over and over until they become automatic.

That is exactly how I, John Elite, built my daygame training system.

After years of Krav Maga training, I, John Elite, realized that drills could be applied to social skills the same way they are applied to combat skills.

If you repeat the correct movements enough times, your nervous system adapts.

Your neural pathways change.

That is why most of my students go through the training videos at least six times while repeating the drills.

For Inner Circle Basics students, the drills are practiced in a more supportive environment because many beginners are intimidated by tough love coaching.

But this student actually liked the drill based approach because it reminded him of military training.

The core drills focused on three areas.

The first was the 45 degree body language.

This angle removes pressure from the interaction and makes the approach feel more natural.

The second was tonality.

He already had a strong whitewashed tonality, which meant I, John Elite, did not have to adjust it much.

The third was the social skills flow drill.

This drill teaches conversational rhythm and emotional pacing.

In fact, he appeared in one of the Inner Circle Platinum training videos practicing the social skills flow drill with another student.

That other student was Vietnamese and had already gotten an 18 year old Latina stunner through cold approach.

That Vietnamese student actually recommended this Jewish student to me.

He told me, “Can you please help my friend.”

When he mentioned the student was Jewish and a former IDF soldier, I, John Elite, immediately felt a connection because of my Krav Maga background.

He said we would probably get along because we both understood drill based training.

This is why the system works.

Drills create skills.

Skills create value.

And value pushes you over the threshold where results happen.

I, John Elite, teach that attraction can be measured across a 35 point system.

Looks are worth up to 10 points.

Money is worth up to 5 points.

Status from your race or background can add up to 10 points.

Social skills are worth 2.5 points.

Social calibration is worth 2.5 points.

Emotional control is worth 2.5 points.

Game fundamentals are worth 2.5 points.

That creates a total possible score of 35 points.

Once you reach 20 out of 35, you cross what I, John Elite, call the line of fuckability.

When a student crosses that line, results start happening automatically in daygame cold approach.

That is why the drills matter.

They are not random exercises.

They are designed to raise your points until you cross that threshold.

Age Is Not the Real Barrier in Daygame. This student was in his 40s. Yet he still got laid in 2.5 weeks.

That is actually very fast for daygame cold approach.

He was a late bloomer.

So if you think age is the real issue, it really is not.

When men get older, the problems are usually something else.

Sometimes they start dressing old fashioned.

This student had to upgrade his fashion and improve his overall presentation.

Sometimes older students also carry more fear.

He had extremely bad approach anxiety, which I will talk about in the next section.

But the real factor was skill development.

He had a growth mindset.

He actually wanted to learn.

He did not question everything I, John Elite, told him to do.

That is a big difference compared to other older students who resist coaching.

Some students constantly beat themselves up whenever they make mistakes.

Others keep returning to the starting line over and over again.

Their neural pathways never stabilize because they are constantly stressed.

Too much cortisol shrinks the hippocampus and destroys memory formation.

When that happens, they cannot retain the training.

I am not saying older students are losers.

Some of them are actually incredible performers.

You might remember my German student who was over 50 years old.

He got laid three times in a row on the first approach with women in their twenties.

So the real difference is not age.

The real difference is grit.

It is growth mindset.

It is resilience.

It is instinct.

Can they follow instructions from me, John Elite.

And do they have the tenacity to finish the process.

Some students unfortunately have almost no memory retention.

Their hippocampus shrinks from stress and they lose their neural pathways.

They repeat the same mistakes again and again.

They are always standing at the starting line.

The faster someone abandons the growth mindset and starts telling me what they think they should be doing, the faster they quit.

That is exactly why I, John Elite, created Inner Circle Basics.

Inside that structure, even if you quit temporarily, you can still move forward slowly.

Like a turtle.

But if you actually follow the drills, everything changes.

You need three things working together.

Memory.

Adaptation.

And consistent repetition of the drills.

When those three overlap, it becomes like a Venn diagram.

Students eventually cross the threshold and start getting results.

The system works when the student actually commits to it.

The problem today is the economic environment.

With the tariffs and economic stress, people are treating the situation like a recession.

Their nervous systems become deregulated.

They lose discipline.

They stop committing to the drills.

That is another reason I, John Elite, built Inner Circle Basics.

This student originally trained inside Elite Bundle Resurrections.

At that time, Elite Tonality Mastery was still part of Elite Access.

Later I integrated that training into the Elite Bundle to create Elite Bundle Resurrections.

Back then he received a lot of infield analysis from me.

The interesting thing is that it only takes me a few seconds to diagnose problems.

When I, John Elite, watch an infield recording, I can identify mistakes almost immediately.

I can see the body language.

I can hear the tonality.

I can evaluate the social skills flow drill.

And I can read the woman’s reactions.

All of these signals reveal what is really happening in the interaction.

Many students cannot see these mistakes themselves.

The truth is simple.

You do not know what you do not know.

And without feedback, it is very easy to become delusional.

Approach anxiety exists even in combat veterans. This student had some of the worst approach anxiety out of all my students.

Yet he was a former IDF soldier with real combat experience.

That alone proves something important.

Physical courage and social courage are two completely different systems.

In combat, you can face bullets flying past you.

But when it comes to approaching a woman in daygame cold approach, your nervous system can still panic.

That is why grit matters so much.

In the military, when bullets are flying by, you are trained to breathe and slow everything down.

You regulate your nervous system so you can function under pressure.

The same principle applies to daygame.

You feel the fear and do it anyway.

That is something I, John Elite, have been teaching for a long time.

In fact, I talked about this extensively in my Unquit Daygame Approach Again course.

I released it on my second channel even though most people have not seen it.

The real lesson is simple.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

You can replace fear with anything.

Feel the depression and do it anyway.

Feel the distraction and do it anyway.

Feel the disappointment and do it anyway.

The point is that you execute despite what you think or feel.

Anything else is just mental bullshit.

When I, John Elite, tell a student to do something, their response usually falls into two categories.

Some students are like rabbits.

They move fast and execute immediately.

Others are like turtles.

They move slowly and hesitate.

The rabbits keep executing regardless of fear.

The turtles sometimes half commit.

Then they start beating themselves up for mistakes.

That creates more cortisol in the body.

When cortisol increases, the hippocampus shrinks and memory formation becomes weaker.

Now the turtle loses the neural pathways that were already forming.

Instead of moving forward, he walks backwards in a circle and starts from the beginning again.

This is why daygame success is not really about age.

Sometimes older students lose a little bit of resilience.

That is not a marketing message people like to hear.

Everyone wants to believe they are already enough.

But the truth I see as a coach is different.

The students who get results are usually the ones with rabbit like resilience.

Their sexual market value is not always higher.

Their resilience is higher.

Their growth mindset is stronger.

They execute even when conditions are difficult.

And right now the economic environment makes things harder.

During a tariff era, people are more stressed and more distracted.

Feeling the fear and doing it anyway becomes even harder.

Memory formation becomes harder.

Adaptation becomes harder.

That is why I, John Elite, created Inner Circle Basics.

It gives slower students a safety net so they can keep progressing even if they move at a turtle pace.

But if you already have some experience, you should move faster.

If you have already gotten a date through daygame cold approach, you should be training inside Elite Bundle Resurrections.

Moving forward I, John Elite, will only allow students into Elite Bundle Resurrections if they can prove they have already gotten a date before.

Because that shows they can execute.

For example, my Indian student recently had not approached for five days.

He was only practicing the drills.

Then he went out and did one approach.

In that single approach he got an instant date and a venue change.

That is how skill based training works.

This is not luck.

This is skill.

Showing up is half the battle.

Now on the world events point.

A lot of people are deregulated right now.

You need to be tough and execute anyway.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

That mindset is closer to Donald Trump than it is to kicking the can forward.

And if Biden was still in charge or Kamala Harris, Iran would already have a nuke.

That is the kind of zombie mentality I am talking about.

You do not want to be that.

You want to think clearly.

Then execute anyway.

Then adapt.

-John Elite

P.S I believe in this group coaching course so much. Its like the cure for students who are slower learners who shouldn’t be in Elite Bundle Resurrections. But Inner Circle Basics. Its not slower or further away from your goals. Its actually faster if you get the basics down first and win half the battle instead of quitting early on.
